A large organization definitely has lots of business processes that keep them busy. Teamwork is necessary to climb the success ladder. No one should fully bear all work responsibilities, which is why delegation and corresponding accountability must be established.
Salesforce realizes this. That is why they came up with the Accountability & Delegation Module to teach and inspire teams to work together towards the realization of common goals.
Defining the Module
Accountability & Delegation Module is a one hour and twenty-minute self-learning package designed for all kinds of Salesforce employees. It tackles relevant points about accountability and delegation, and how these relate to everyday work. The module is divided into four units, each one 20 minutes in length. Each module emphasizes important factors to make individuals understand the true essence of accountability and delegation.
This module is available on Trailhead under the Manage the Salesforce Way trail. It is also tagged under the General modules.
